You are releasing energy.

In the sky, water is in a gaseous form, and when it rains it has to make a phase change from a gas to a liquid. This phase changes release heat, and this is why temperature increases after it rains.

Another thought, even though water freezes at 0 degrees F, it has to be below freezing to snow, because you are going from gas --> solid, which releases even more heat.

Rain that freezes on the way down is?

This can be either sleet or freezing rain, though both technically start as snow and melt into rain. Sleet is rain that is able to freeze back into ice pellets before reaching the ground. Freezing rain is rain that does not have enough time to freeze into ice before reaching the ground - the cold layer is very shallow to the ground, so it is rain that freezes on contact with cold surfaces.


What is evaporating rain?

The thunder comes before the lightning the lightning comes before the clouds The rain dries everything it touches?

This a riddle. It has been given as "My thunder comes before my lightning. My lightning comes before my rain. My rain dries everything it touches. What am I?"One suggestion is a volcano. It's roar comes before it spews out fiery magma, and possibly lightning occurs in the subsequent clouds above the volcano. Then it rains hot ash, which certainly dries everything it touches.

Does heavy rain and lightning occur before a tornado?

Heavy rain and lightning can occur before, during, or after a tornado. Typically, thunderstorms with heavy rain and lightning are associated with the conditions that can lead to tornado formation, but not all thunderstorms produce tornadoes. It is essential to stay informed and have a plan in place to seek shelter in case of severe weather.

How come it doesn't rain in Venus if its so hot there?

The fact that Venus is so hot is the very reason it doesn't rain. When we say Venus is hot, we don't mean hot like a tropical country, we mean hotter than the inside of an oven on broil. Water cannot exist in the liquid there. Venus does have clouds of sulfuric acid, and a sort of "rain" does fall from them, but it evaporates before reaching the surface.
